mooglenet_backup[And with one simple video, Celes' world has turned upside down again and she's not sure what to think. Gaia is messing with her now. Time was, she'd have rushed straight over to see him, but now... that's just what she needs: time. So she does the natural thing and high-tails it out of Figaro on foot in the middle of the night.
She doesn't leave without shooting off a couple of locked text feeds first, though.
Edgar:
Something's come up. I'm leaving for a few days. Don't try to find me. I won't be gone long.
and Terra:
I'm not in Figaro right now, but can we talk? Text, voice, or in person, I don't care.
After that, she flicks on her Sky Phone to announce her departure to the rest of Gaia via voice post.]
If anyone needs me, I'm leaving Figaro for a few days. Call it cabin fever. I won't be gone long.
[For the early hours of the morning, she will be getting herself beaten up in the Sunleth Waterscape, as per her usual coping mechanisms. Once the sun starts peeking out, she'll head off somewhere else where she won't be found as easily, tucking herself among shelves of books and actually reading to pass the time.
After a while, she gets up the nerve to text Balthier.
We need to talk. Phone or in person, it doesn't matter.]

Date: 2011-05-19 04:35 pm (UTC)As far as looks go, she's a mess. She looks like she's been fighting things recently, but at least she's had the brains to heal herself this time. That still won't take away the exhaustion from getting so little sleep the previous night.]

Date: 2011-05-19 04:42 pm (UTC)Oh, Celes....
[action]
Date: 2011-05-19 04:44 pm (UTC)Did you see who's back?
[There are chairs for Terra to sit down in, too, if she wants to.]
[action]
Date: 2011-05-19 05:08 pm (UTC)Yes, I did; Locke....
[action]
Date: 2011-05-19 05:48 pm (UTC)[There's the mess of Balthier now and she has no idea what to do. She rubs a hand over her temple.]
[action]
Date: 2011-05-19 05:58 pm (UTC)But...?
[action]
Date: 2011-05-19 06:00 pm (UTC)[And what he told her about Ashe. This is just making her worry more.]
I don't know what to do or think. Since when did a general like me have two suitors...?
[action]
Date: 2011-05-19 06:07 pm (UTC)You like them both?
[action]
Date: 2011-05-19 06:12 pm (UTC)Never thought I'd say that.
[She sighs, looking down at the closest book, something on the scholars of the stars. It's a lot to wrap her mind around right now.]
I didn't even try to start anything with Balthier. [Or Locke, really, but that's not the point.] It just... happened. Maybe I just need to give it time.
[But she's awful at waiting... and there's more to it. There's the whole Ashe thing.]

Date: 2011-05-19 06:32 pm (UTC)There's more to it. On our first outing, I told him about Locke and he told me... about someone he cared for in his world, someone who now lives here with her husband. I don't want to do the same thing to him. It was supposed to be a second chance for us both.
[She runs a hand through her long hair, letting it tangle in the long locks as her mind rushes through the situation.]
[action]
Date: 2011-05-19 06:36 pm (UTC)I just want you to be happy, Celes. Whatever you do, I'm sure it will be the right decision.
[action]
Date: 2011-05-19 06:39 pm (UTC)I wish I had your faith. I don't want to hurt them, but... I'm afraid I'll hurt someone no matter what I do.
[action]
Date: 2011-05-19 06:42 pm (UTC)You probably will, but...it's still better to be honest about it, right?
[action]
Date: 2011-05-20 02:48 pm (UTC)Probably. There's always a chance Locke won't remember anything.
[And she's not sure which is worse at this point.]
[action]
Date: 2011-05-20 02:57 pm (UTC)I talked to him a little before reaching you. He doesn't seem to remember Gaia...yet.
[action]
Date: 2011-05-20 03:02 pm (UTC)I guess I'll just have to see. I'm sorry for dumping all this on you, but I didn't know what else to do.
[And she considers Terra her closest friend.]
[action]
Date: 2011-05-20 03:06 pm (UTC)It's okay, Celes. I would have sought you out anyway, for this. It's more than anyone can or should deal with alone.
[action]
Date: 2011-05-20 03:10 pm (UTC)Only time will tell, I guess. Is Locke back in Figaro yet?
[action]
Date: 2011-05-20 03:13 pm (UTC)No, but I'm sure someone's on their way to pick him up. You have time.
[action]
Date: 2011-05-20 03:27 pm (UTC)I'll come back to Figaro tomorrow. I don't want him to think I'm avoiding him. I just needed space.
[action]
Date: 2011-05-20 03:36 pm (UTC)[action]
Date: 2011-05-20 03:57 pm (UTC)[Slight pause.]
Thanks... for your help, Terra. [She's not sure what she'd do without her friend.]
[action]
Date: 2011-05-20 04:01 pm (UTC)You're welcome, Celes.
[action]
Date: 2011-05-20 04:16 pm (UTC)[That will be a hard talk.]
